What happened: A Yahoo MLB roundup of Dodgers notes carries fresh injury updates on Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez and Will Smith. The same report tracks infielder Ryan Ward's ongoing adjustment to the major leagues.

Why it matters: The Dodgers sit at 48-27 and have won three straight, so the status of Shohei Ohtani, Hernandez and Smith is central to a lineup chasing the best record in the league. Ohtani exited a game last week with left knee inflammation before returning, which makes any further word on his health worth watching.

What to watch: Watch for clarity on the severity and timelines tied to Ohtani, Hernandez and Smith, and how Ward settles into a steadier role.
